Plot synopsis
Valia, the film's protagonist, a lover of digital life and online games, constantly spends money on online games and is constantly in conflict with his father because of this. He finds solace only in his relationship with Dasha, his virtual lover.
During the summer holidays, Dasha suggests to Valya that they finally meet in person, and in an unusual way, in a student brigade. For Valya, the offer is tempting, not only because he'll see his beloved in the flesh, but also because he can earn money for his games. However, his romantic dream of meeting Dasha clashes with the harshness of group life. Valya hates noisy groups and parties, is incapable of performing heavy physical labor, and proves to be completely lost. From the first day, the journey to meet the brigade turns into an adventure. Valya misses the train's departure, leaving her belongings in the carriage. While trying to reach the camp, Valya loses her phone, her only means of communication with Dasha. Now he must find out which of the girls in the team is this same Dasha.
